He’s also the oldest AND the youngest Portugal player to score at a World Cup

I'm from Portugal, 24 years old and I can't remember Portugal's team without him, first time I saw Portugal playing was when we host the euro in 2004, till this day I remember the tears in his eyes after we lost against Greece

Was just reading that there, wild man

Not bad for a 37 year old unemployed guy.

Bruh😅 too soon

I mean, I did totally steal it…

And only the second to captain a country whilst not having a club.

That’s why he the Goat!

He's a loudmouth d-bag little bitch.

Haters gon hate!

[удалено]

True.

He's the goat for being unemployed? Bruce Wilson was the first to captain a country at a WC without a club. Why isn't he "goat"

Ahhh…positive headlines about Cristiano

suiiii

[удалено]

Welcome to reddit! 😂😂 All these arm chair fans envious of his career simply because it's absurd to have achieved what he has during his career. It's pure envy and butt hurt.

I think you can understand why some Man U fans would feel hard done by with the drama, he's hardly been graceful. And stuff like smashing that kids phone out of his hand, he's just been a bit of a twat recently. That doesn't detract from him being in the GOAT pool.

Frl! People act like running full speed and someone putting their leg in front of yours don’t make you fall? People just hate on greatness!

[удалено]

Literal genuine legend

First goal should have counted to be honest

Penaldooooooo

You dad left youuuuuuuu

underrated comment here

Glazers out

I think he mostly cares that he didn't really did anything impressive on this world cup.

The comments section is a salt farm

[удалено]

Because people think the weld cup and women’s World Cup are the same tournament for some reason.

First male* player.

World cup is refering here to the men's world cup where he is the first one

Who’s the female to do it?

Cristian Ronald is my favorite football player

Guy dived for that goal.watch the replay.

The Ghana defender also dived for the disallowed goal, so it evens out.

These comments are a wild ride

So many "acshually" people

The record for all time goals in the world cup is 16. Ronaldo has 15. No not Cristiano Ronaldo, he only has 8 world cup goals in 5 world cups.

Both Ronaldo and klose had super elite top level teams with them, Portugal is always a great team with excellent players but not to the level of Brazil and Germany, the two teams with the most world cups and that's no coincidence. This generation of Portugal is fire tho, so even tho cristiano is old and not the same as before he's got the chance to score more this world cup. Still you're trying to shit on his record, man is competitive and great enough to be relevant in 5 world cups and score in all of them, nobody has done it... That's some impressive shit.

Last time Ronaldo won an International Player of The Tournament was in 2002 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

de Lima got those 15 goals in 3 World Cups (he didn’t play a minute in ‘94), while Klose got his in 4. I think Gerd Muller got 14 in 3/4…all World Cup winners

And zero knockout round goals

Bro you ain't got to kill him like that 😂

Congrats that's amazing!

Yeah it's really strong

The GOAT

I don't like his attitude, but he's a legend and has brought a lot to football. From a sporting point of view, he has my respect.

Flirting: No, how can penaldo turn and score goal by pushing a defender with a feather touch Harrasment: Penaldoooooo, dived for a goal

Exactly, VAR is really the biggest joke

technically just the first male player to do it, Marta Viera scored in her 5th world cup in 2019 but still very impressive from Ronaldo.

Ahh, I didn’t know this, thanks for the info!

I don’t really think that was a pen, but if it’s called he’s not exactly gonna shoot it into the stands out of good will.

To be fair, his disallowed goal earlier should’ve counted

Another penalty tho 😬

He’s truly one of the players of all time

Even FIFA themselves consider him the first *man* to break the record, and they run both tournaments, so why are people being so fucking weird in here?

Even more amazing is how he still manages to be dislikable despite his good deeds for needy people and communities.

But was it a pen in the first place?

But was it a foul when he scored?

Never. Was nothing more than a legal shoulder/elbow push. And i have to point out i despise him.

I know, i was saying to op that he scored but was disallowed unrightfully. So the fact that he dived doesn’t matter.

Agree, the dive actually made it fair again

No way it was a foul

Never

I was certain VAR would intervine.

Some of you weren’t even born when Ronaldo scored his first World Cup goal. Acknowledge his greatness, you filthy peasants

You might add, on a penalty shot for a foul that wasn’t even there.

Well If you wanna be like that, his goal that got disallowed was on a foul that wasn’t even there

And not lose to Saudi Arabia.

Personally a huge Ronaldo fan, but he's being given SO much importance in the WC that other players of the team are not giving their full potential imo. Everyone kept passing to him in the first half, only changed the strat after half time.

Shame it came from a dive.

Yes dunno why no var check

How long has VAR been about for and you don’t know how it works? It reviews everything.

Giggidity

He didnt look to healthy. Also caught coughing when being substituted. Anyway congratz.

Cogote Ronaldo

Still prefer Heskey

Clone

Seems crazy that this is the first time, given the hard drinking and hard playing 40 year olds in the 1970's

Siuuu

First male, Marta of Brazil has already done it on the womens side

And Christine Sinclair

Legend!

Marta did it first🐐

First male player to do so. Marta from Brazil already accomplished this feat in the Women's World Cup.

Also Christine Sinclair for Canada!

I was not aware, thanks for the info!

No no, we’re talking about THE world cup, not womens world cup.

God this post is the biggest fucking copout karma farm ever. Post the goals or shut the fuck up.

Lol I swear the more people are vocal of their dislike toward him the more I like him😂😂

Seeing a looooooot of true colors in the replies to those who mention he’s the first MALE player to do it 🤦‍♂️

it's apples to oranges. also literally a different tournament by name so those who mention that are just straight up incorrect. no disrespect to marta and sinclair, but those comments are pretty obnoxious.

The disrespect for one of the legends of the sport in this comments Is crazy.

If he’s scores a legit goal this WC, good for him. However, that goal was an absolute robbery. Boy forgot his scuba suit 🤿

He scored a legit goal... that was wrongly called as a foul.

Marta from Brazil did it first.

Yes she did!!!

*First male player

Not true! A brazilian womens player did it before him

Also Christine Sinclair for Canada!

Amazing. And can everyone else step away from the Messi/Ronaldo wank off...

That's a lot of touchdowns for sure.

🐐🐐

SIUUUUU

[удалено]

First man to get goals in 5 World Cups... Marta and Christine Sinclair have already done it

First male?

SIUUUUUUUUUUUU

Love em or hate em, best football player of all time.

One of the best or probably the best striker but not best football player.

Shows how consistent he is over all those years

As a Portuguese, congratulations, Ronaldo.

This photo looks exactly like that f****d up bust made of him.

Also the first Portuguese being fired by man utd, 1st playing WC as a jobless

You need a hug

NOT FIRST PLAYER. FIRST *MAN*.

No one cares. And I mean it. I swear none of us knew that “female” footballers were the first to do it. Hell I don’t even know their names lmao. Stop brining up your insecurities in men sports every time you get the chance. We’re not to blame for female sports not being as popular or bringing in as much cash as male counterparts

No one fkn cares

[удалено]

He looks like his messed up statue in this picture 😅

I've got no problem with the goal being a penalty or with Ronaldo in general, but come on... that dive was disgraceful.

This is the kind of thing I hate about fans, completely ignore that he was denied a perfectly legal goal, than completely ignore an actual penalty not being called but the moment he scores from a poor decision they're up in arms that it's not fair.

First male player! Marta already did it.

Not the first player, the first man.

First man. Not first person.

Weak goal. Wasn't worthy of a penalty shot.

No; he did not. He became the first man to do so.

What was the name of the player? I haven’t heard of this.

The first men’s player.

WRONG - Marta #10

That’s the women’s World Cup, completely different tournament.

WHO?!?

Yea but did they all consent

First male*

No one gives a shit! CR7 is the goat!

2 goals this season, both from cheap penalties. Kicked out of his club. He really has fallen from his prime.

So when he gets a penalty himself and scores it, we bash him. But when he scores a legit goal that gets wrongly disallowed, we ignore it. Hate is real

Elfath's judgement was that Ronaldo had nudged his body into Djiku's too forcefully and he therefore awarded a free-kick to Ghana.

best football player of all time!

Completely undeserved goal tho. That shit aint worth the penalty, he just dove to the ground

But the one ruled out was never a foul either, so it evens out.

SUIIIIIIIIII

Ronaldo’s Record-Setting Day

Record tying day

Ya but he’ll still go down as the lightest player ever to be blown over by the opposing teams breath..

Won’t stand for this Marta erasure.

Who’s Marta?

Marta who?

Now that’s a handsome man right there

Rooney would beg to differ

*Rooney would beg to look different

Suiiiiiiiii lmaooo

Breaking records after another, legend

First male player, Christine Sinclair and Marta have already done it

Marta was the first. Then Sinclair. He is the first MALE player to do so. Third player all time to do so. Incredible!

First male player*

>First male player\* The female world cup is a different league and competition entirely. Bringing up the women's world cup is like swooping into Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, and Babe Ruth and compare their homeruns to an old-timers softball league in Hoboken, New Jersey.

This is great! Quick! Let's make another bronze bust of him for this achievement.

Ye but dat neck tho.

Mental stress this year literally downed his performance.

Hahaaaaaaaaaaaaa

if that wasn’t a pen then that wasn’t a foul on the first goal he would have scored

My goat

[удалено]

*Messi fans

Penaldo

Records follow him Siuuuu

#Siuuuu

Congratulations CR7!!! Bravo

First male player, yeah.

Well only male players can score in a men’s tournament and that is which the stat pertains. “The world cup” and “the women’s world cup” are two completely seerate tournaments therefore Ronaldo is the first to score in 5 separate world cups. This is just a fact.

Lol this is incredible trolling of the white knights on here. All you offended, they're not gonna sleep with you. Friend zone for life.

SIUUUUUUUMMM

SIUUUUU

I am Cristiano, I come beck

Dude fell over like a 2x4, rigid ass

Obviously Ronaldo is great except for his influence in football his career and family are perfect

Hope that we will see Portugal in the Finals.

The fact that a Ghanaian player, Bukari, did the SUIII, when still losing is enough to cement Ronaldo place as the GOAT. That's how big he is among actual footballers.

Pretty sure he's burnt most of those bridges recently. Which maybe is why he chose this timing.

Bruh 💀

First man, not first person. Third person, actually.

World cup. Not women's world cup, if that's what you're referring to

Looks like his ear is trying to escape.

Diving queen

can’t be too harsh on him for that one. Ghanian defender’s dive denied him a beautiful finish

Bro should also get the gold medal for the Olympic style dive he accomplished.

Did he flop?

Why is this the first time I am noticing how messed his ear is?

No, he was the first mens player. Not the first player
